No it was not officially started as I asked around for what people would like included but got very few suggestions. There were a couple of utils that I had (truncate & timeout), but they are now queued up for inclusion in coreutils. So I'm not sure another project is required/desired. There is the moreutils project already in debian/ubuntu: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/moreutils.html So I would suggest people direct to that and I offer to help with that project. thanks, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
